"What's wrong?" As he spoke, Mo Jianguo raised his hand and slapped Mo Zhenzhen hard, cursing:

"You've made me lose face! How dare you ask what's wrong?"

Mo Zhenzhen was completely awakened by the slap in the face. Tears immediately flowed down her cheeks. She quickly walked behind Zhu Wanru, seeking shelter, and shouted in grievance:

"mom."

Zhu Wanru frowned, and did not intend to protect her daughter. She threw the newspaper at her and said in a cold voice:

"Zhenzhen, what you did this time was really disappointing. Don't blame your dad for beating you."

Mo Zhenzhen picked up the newspaper on the ground without knowing why, flipped it open and read it carefully. After finishing, her face was filled with anger and fear:

"Xia Guyu, that bitch, dared to write about me like that! And Mo Daya, I want her now..."

"Shut up!" Before Mo Jianguo could get angry, Zhu Wanru immediately interrupted Mo Zhenzhen and scolded:

"I usually blame myself for being too indulgent to you. That's why you became like this and caused such a big disaster, and your father was implicated. Over the years, your father has been very cautious because of my identity, fearing that he would be criticized. But you, instead of giving him face, did something stupid to make things difficult for him!"

After hearing what Zhu Wanru said, Mo Jianguo, who was originally very angry, gradually calmed down a little. Seeing Zhu Wanru's tears, he couldn't help but patted her shoulder and comforted her:

"Speaking of the child's matter, how did it get to me?"

Zhu Wanru looked at Mo Zhenzhen and continued with a cold face:

"Go back to your room and reflect on your behavior at home for the next few days. You are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Mo Zhenzhen didn't dare to say another word, turned around and quickly returned to her room.

After she left, Zhu Wanru gently took Mo Jianguo's hand and said softly:

"Jianguo, thanks to you, I have been able to live such a comfortable life these years. I know it is also because of my identity that you have been in this position all these years and cannot be promoted..." When she said this, her eyes were filled with tears and she looked so weak:

"If you regret it and want to divorce me, I will..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mo Jianguo immediately interrupted her and hugged her into his arms:

"From the time I chose you until now, I have never regretted it!"

After listening to Mo Jianguo's words, Zhu Wanru looked at him with gratitude:

"When my father and brother went to Taiwan, those people wanted to hold me accountable. It was you who protected me all along, and in the end you married me regardless of the consequences. You don't know how grateful I am to you over the years."

Obviously, these words were very useful to Mo Jianguo, and he hugged her and comforted her:

"We are an old married couple, why bother saying thank you? Besides, you stayed because of me. I feel very happy to have you by my side all these years."

Zhu Wanru leaned on Mo Jianguo and said with great self-blame:

"It is indeed Zhenzhen's fault this time. I will discipline her properly in the future." Having said this, she hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"I know Daya has always been resentful. She feels that you betrayed her mother and married me. I will find time to talk to her and ask her not to hate you. If she must hate someone, then she should hate me as her stepmother." Zhu Wanru's face was full of sadness. She sighed and continued:

"Hey, you brought her here and raised her with all your heart, but she ignored you and teamed up with others to publish this article, implicating you. If you don't help her resolve her feelings, I don't know what else she will do in the future."

On the surface, this was meant to help Mo Jianguo and Mo Ya repair their father-daughter relationship, but secretly it was reminding Mo Jianguo that Mo Ya hated him in her heart and that no matter how hard he tried to bring her up, she would never be tamed and might do something even more excessive next time.

After hearing her words, Mo Jianguo's face was filled with anger again, and he said viciously:

"That rebellious girl, like her ignorant mother, is always trying to make me unhappy. I have raised her for so many years, but now she has become a grudge. If she continues to be restless, I will send her back to where she came from."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Zhu Wanru did not say any more about this topic, but comforted Mo Jianguo more gently. With her comfort, Mo Jianguo gradually calmed down.

After Mo Jianguo returned to the army, Zhu Wanru knocked on Mo Zhenzhen's door. Mo Zhenzhen's anger had turned into panic. She knew that after the article criticizing her was published, her reputation in the military region would be completely ruined.

She hasn't married or had children yet. How is she going to survive in the military area in the future?

"Mom, what should I do?" Mo Zhenzhen said in a crying voice.

"What else can I do? I have to keep my tail between my legs for now. Zhenzhen, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't control your temper, something bad will happen in the future!"

Hearing that she had to keep her tail between her legs was even more painful for the always proud Mo Zhenzhen than killing her. After a moment, she seemed to have thought of something and asked:

"Can we go to my grandfather and uncle's place? I heard they are doing very well in Taiwan..."

"Shut up!" Zhu Wanru's face changed, and she lowered her voice and said, "If you dare to say something like this again, I will send you back to the countryside to farm!"

Zhu Wanru didn't stay for Mo Jianguo just because she liked him. When her father and brother left, they didn't think of taking her with them. They didn't even tell her in advance. They deliberately kept her behind as a cover so that others would not discover that they were going to escape to Taiwan so quickly.

If she had not found Mo Jianguo to support her, she would probably be living a miserable life now. Her friend, who was also a young lady from a capitalist family, was also abandoned by her family in the mainland and later sent to the countryside to farm and carry manure. Her life was extremely miserable.

Compared to that handkerchief friend, she had no idea how glamorous her life was. She had good food, drink and clothes, and she was the wife of the deputy chief of staff. Although her husband did not get promoted, no one in the army dared to bully her.

Over the years, she has tried every way to please Mo Jianguo, being weak and gentle in front of him, just to maintain her current life.

Because of this, when her youngest daughter Mo Xiaoxiao said she wanted to marry Lu Jingzhe, she agreed and supported her very much, and even paved the way for her. This was because she had her eyes on Lu Jingzhe and felt that with his abilities, his future political career would be immeasurable.

In this way, their family's support can continue forever.

Now hearing Mo Zhenzhen say this, firstly, she was afraid that she would bring trouble to the family, and secondly, she still had a grudge against her father and brother for using her and abandoning her, so she was so angry.
